Educational question

Today they called me to get to my son's garden.
They said he was harassing other children, and when they moved him away, he began to cry and scream.
I asked him why he did it?
And he did not answer ...
Should I continue to insist and ask him again?
Should I punish him for his behavior?
If so, what educational punishment is right to give him?

Well in time he will tell you..I would not keep asking.
If he does not say it, then we may guess that maybe it was just a child acting out to maybe another child had done something to him.
It is difficult I know I remember my son when he was small in the kindergarten too and he was pushing kids around but he stopped it fast because I told him no.
But of course, if it continues and becomes a problem maybe then see what you can do.
It is always stressful when we do not know.

@gilggg You are so welcome friend. Yes if it happens after today and keeps happening, then you can act.
In general, my son adjusted in a week or so and all was well after that. I wish the best for your son.

Well it happened today,
I want to do a little more exploring whether this is a one-time event or happens often in the garden. Unfortunately my son does not tell much, and if he does, he ain't tell me that he behaved badly.
thank you for your response and sharing your expience.

@gilggg What you describe sounds like normal 5-year-old behavior. I encounter that every Friday (when I work at my friend's preschool). It's up to the teachers to separate the kids arguing over a truck or plastic shovel or whatever, and help them "use their words" to help decide who gets what when. A "redirect" is also a good thing: "If you feel like destroying something, build a sand castle yourself, or help your friends destroy theirs when they say it's OK."

Punishment is fir the good of the child but not always. Try sorting it calmly as well

Just talk to him calmly and if his behavior would still continue, try looking for a psychologist.
